SHANNON COURTENAY |

 Shannon Courtenay is an Aotearoa New Zealand-based artist who works mainly in ceramics, using mould making, slip casting, and handbuilding methods to create pieces that verge on being indistinguishable from the originals.

Several years ago, Shannon was working in a cafe linked to a pottery factory in 
Matakana. Surrounded by the beauty of this place -the terracotta tiles, the clay harvested onsite, the uniquely crafted pieces- she made the decision to pursue a degree in contemporary art. While studying Fine Arts in Auckland, she returned to Matakana every week to work with NZ pottery pioneer and factory founder Anthony Morris in his home studio. Here, Shannon fell in love with making functional pieces that people treasure. Although separate from her art practice, these collections still take on conceptual themes.
